Getting Some New Wheels

I am almost embarrassed to say it, but I am still driving my first car. That’s right, if I was to pick you up to give you a ride, you would be driving around in an old 1993 Dodge Spirit – not a pretty sight. It is falling apart and on its last legs, but I can’t complain as it has served me well. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t have my eyes on a new car – in fact, I have been shopping around for the last couple of weeks.

I think that I have been to every Fort Worth Ford dealer and there have only been a few cars that have got me excited. Even though the Ford Explorer is really tempting to me, I just can’t see myself needing the 4x4, so I have been trying (really hard) to just look at cars. I have been looking at the Ford Focus, and I think that I am pretty much sold on it.
But before I take the plunge and buy a Ford, I thought that I should go check out the new Suzuki dealer in town. They have some really good prices, and from the reviews that I have read online, they have some good cars as well.

I am going to check them out today, but if I do find something that I like, I am going to sleep on it before I make an offer – I want to get a car that will last for a long time.

Rental cars Las Vegas Style!

I've had my fun in Las Vegas. I'm sure you have as well. If not, only you can do something about that. One thing I'm a bit tired of is that marketing slogan, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". It is brilliant, no doubt. I'm just tire of it. During my last trip I spent way too much time in line for a car rental, Las Vegas. What's up with that?

If I had wanted to spend half of my time waiting for a Las Vegas rental car, I would have just taken a taxi. Or better yet, I would have not even considered rental cars in Las Vegas and would have driven myself. I'm only about 5 hours at just above the legal speed limit.

But that takes away from the fun and excitement of being there. Car rental Las Vegas style can be exciting and fun. If you splurge a little and go for one of the exotic rental cars, you may end up with one of those "stays in Vegas" memories.

Or you can be boring and just go for the cheap rental cars in Las Vegas. If you do that, however, make sure you spend all the money you save gambling. Only then will you get to create memories that you'll tell everyone about. And when I hear it, I'll cringe because you will tell me that it didn't really stay in Vegas!
